Vietnam set to reinforce practical ties with Cambodia
Vietnam expects to join efforts with Cambodia to develop bilateral
relations in a bid to bring practical benefits to both sides, said Prime
PM Dung made this statement while receiving Cambodian Permanent Deputy PM
Men Sam An, who doubles as President of the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship
Association (CVFA), in Hanoi on November 3.
The government leader noted with pleasure that Vietnam-Cambodia ties have
grown fruitfully, especially in the fields of politics, diplomacy,
economics and trade, despite the impact of the global economic crisis.
The two nations have also cooperated smoothly in maintaining security,
border demarcation and marker planting, mitigating damage caused by natural
disasters and facilitating cooperative relations between border provinces, he
said.
PM Dung spoke highly of the efforts of both the CVFA and Men Sam An in
beefing up their bilateral relationship, saying that the Vietnamese government
will create favourable conditions for the two sides to cooperate
effectively, not only at the central level, but also among local chapters.
The PM asked the two associations to increase the dissemination of
information about the time-honoured friendship amongst younger generations,
and
step up coordination at international forums, particularly in ASEAN and APEC.
Regarding acts and statements made by Sam Rainsy - President of the Sam
Rainsy Party (SRP), who recently uprooted six temporary poles for Marker 185
between Vietnam’s southern province of Long An and Cambodia’s Svay Rieng
province - he proposed that the Cambodian government take due measures to
deal with Rainsy’s acts of sabotage and not permit similar cases to occur,
as they negatively affect the fine relations between the two nations.
Having expressed delight at effective cooperation in economics, trade and
investment, An said the two nations need to expand cooperation into the
areas of aviation, post and telecommunications and banking.
The deputy PM stated that Sam Rainsy’s recent acts destroyed a national
asset and violated the laws of Cambodia, undermining its fine relationship
with Vietnam.
Empowered by the State President, PM Dung bestowed a Friendship Order on
the Cambodian official.
The same day, Politburo member and permanent member of the Secretariat of
the Party Central Committee, Truong Tan Sang, received the Cambodian
guests.
Sang applauded the CVFA’s collaboration with its Vietnamese counterpart
and other partners from both countries to organise practical activities,
which have helped to beef up friendship and cooperation between their two
peoples.
The Party official said he hoped that the two associations would work
together to hold more such activities in future for the sake of
Vietnam-Cambodia relations.
Also on November 3, the Cambodian delegates worked with the Vietnam Union
of Friendship Organisations (VUFO) and the Vietnam Women’s Union.
VUFO President Vu Xuan Hong took this occasion to present the union’s
noblest award--the insignia “For peace and friendship between nations”--to Men
Sam An and four other members of the Cambodian delegation.
